Jane Cariner.
The name was bright on the roster that Minerva had sent over in the early hours of Sunday morning. The owl had set down next to the couple that were just waking up for the day, Hermione took the letter and opened it immediately. She’d been expecting it to be from Ginny asking where she’d been or even Luna wondering if she was okay but it was a letter from Minerva explaining that Luna had asked her about Heziel Cariner and that she’d explained that she remembered the last name but not that student. She told her that this was the reason she remembered the last name and she was sending it to her for her use.
“Is this your last name, mum?” Hermione asked, she’d gotten dressed after reading the letter and apparated straight to her parents front door with the letter clutched in her hands “Tell me the truth”
“My maiden name was Dennison” Jane said “Not Cariner”
“This wouldn’t lie” Hermione said “I need to know the truth”
“If Cariner is truly my last name then I didn’t know” Jane said, she was looking at the paper in Hermione’s hand like it was a ball of flame that her daughter was about to throw at her.
“Then I need to talk to Gram” Hermione said.
“We’ve not spoken to your grandmother in over six years” Jane said “Not since she called you a...freak”
“I am not exactly happy to be visiting her” Hermione said “But I need to know. This is so much bigger than just a last name and once I have everything figured out and worked out I will tell you the full story but until then I need her address”
“Are you in danger, Hermione?” Peter asked.
“No” She answered.
“Are you sick?” Jane asked.
“No” She answered “Please, mum”
“I’ll get it out of my address book” She answered.

The Knight Bus came to a halt outside of a small muggle town and once Hermione exited it they were off like a rocket again. She walked down the dirt lane towards in the direction that her wand had pointed her and when she stopped where instructed she saw a small stone cottage type home with huge flower gardens all around it. Hermione stepped back from the front gate and pulled her un-brushed hair in to a loose pony tail and rebuttoned her mismatched buttoned shirt and then ran her hands up and down her jeans a few times before walking through the gate and towards the house. She came up to the small, worn red wooden front door and knocked a few times. It was several seconds before the door was pulled open and she was greeted by the sight of the grandmother she hadn’t seen since she was a fourth year maybe a little before then. Her grandmother, Gayle Dennison, had always been an unusually cold woman and was very quick to point out Hermione’s flaws and then pick on her about them.
“Hermione” She said, her voice was devoid of any emotion as she spoke to her. Her grey-streaked blonde hair was pulled back in a severe bun making her already sharp looking features appear even harsher than normal “What are you doing here?”
“May I come in, Grandmother?” Hermione asked as she shouldered her way in to the house without permission.
“I guess you can” She answered, she shut the door a little harder than necessary “To what do I owe the pleasure after such a long time?” She smirked at her “Dressing down for the occasion I see, nice little rats nest you’ve got there and I see that you’ve not been skipping any meals” She gave a mean little laugh at her own joke “Or any desserts from the look at your rear-end”
“You know” Hermione said “My boyfriend thinks that my rear-end is perfect”
“There are men out there” Gayle said as she walked closer to her granddaughter “Few and far between as they are, that like fat girls like you”
“Let’s get right down to it, shall we, Gayle?” Hermione asked with some irritation “What is my mothers real last name”
“Ah” She smirked “I always had you pegged for stupid. Looks like I was wrong, you’ve figured it out when she didn’t” She shook her head “Your mother was always pretty stupid, my fault naturally, I should have pushed her more, made her go to more classes”
“That’s not answering the question” She snapped.
“I got custody of your mother when she was just nine days old” Gayle said “Her own mother a woman by the name of Sheila Cariner had been an old roommate of mine in finishing school and she’d been killed six days earlier in a car crash” Hermione nodded, Sheila Cariner had been Heziels daughter and she knew that already “It had been Sheila’s wish that I take her child though I never expressed any interest in raising a child. I took your mother as a way of saying goodbye to my friend and I raised her the best I could given the circumstance”
“No you didn’t” Hermione accused “You know, a little love wouldn’t have hurt you”
“I didn’t love her” Gayle said coldly “I don’t love her and I don’t love you either, but you know that, don’t you?”
“You made it perfectly clear that you despised me years ago” Hermione said “But you know what you, Gayle, are the reason that my kind tend to hate muggles. You’re mean, jealous and entitled and think that just because you exist you should get an award”
Hermione stormed out of the older woman’s house and flagged the Knight Bus once again. She went back to her parents house and told her mother the story that her ‘mother’ had told her before she headed over to Luna’s house where Ginny was staying.
Hermione walked in to the apartment and dropped herself on to the couch. Ginny was sitting in a chair across from her and Luna was on the other side of the couch, it was this time that Hermione was regretting her activities the night before. She was tired as all hell, there was a head ache forming in the back of her head and her hair would either take two hours to brush out or an entire phial of detangling potion. Her legs were sore, her hips ached, her back was killing her and she was actually sore in her nether regions but least she finally got laid. Ginny must have had a good night as well as she actually allowed Hermione to sit peacefully with her eyes shut for the better part of twenty minutes before opening her mouth and ruining the silence.
“You got laid, didn’t you?” Ginny’s tone was accusatory but excited “My god you did...Luna, look at how she’s sitting, she’s tired, her hips are moving a little smoother” She shook her head with a grin on her face “You got properly shagged!”
“I’m sorry to agree with her, Hermione but...” Luna let the rest of the conversation trail off with a big smile on her face.
“Fine” Hermione said “Get me some wine, I’m going to need some” Ginny shot out of the room like there were firecrackers in her back pockets and was back in seconds with two bottles and three glasses.
“Okay” She said sitting on the floor “We’re ready!”
“There’s nothing to tell” Hermione said taking a long sip of her wine “I had sex last night”
“Last night” Luna said “But you were home last night...”
“You had sex with Snape!” Ginny’s eyes bugged out of her head “Oh my...” She made gagging noises “That is so...” She pretended to puke.
“Is it broken?” Luna asked with wide eyes.
“Yeah” Ginny said with a grin “Did you break his cock?”
“No, but it could be” Hermione answered Luna then went on to tell her the whole story with the occasional confused question from Ginny.
“So its you” Luna said, with a sigh “Wow...”
“Your grandmother sounds like a bitch” Ginny said making the other two laugh a little “Hermione, are you falling in love with...Snape” She made a face.
“I don’t know” Hermione said “He is amazingly different than what I remembered, he’s smart and funny and just...”
“I think you guys would be good together” Ginny said, surprising both girls “What?” She looked between the two of them “He’s intelligent, won’t put you through the same shit Ronald did, won’t put up with your shit and I think we all know that when he loves he loves forever in one form or another and what woman doesn’t want that?”
“Right now” Hermione said, sipping her second glass of wine “That’s not the first thing on my mind”
“Did you know” Luna said “If you can prove that you’re the only surviving magical descendant of Marek Kinnocks then you could come in to a full inheritance of his estates”
“Why would you even think about that?” Hermione looked at her shocked, usually it was Ginny that was so materialistic and vein.
“Because” She answered “You’d not only inherit money and houses but you’d inherit all of his items including diaries, portraits, spell books...everything that he owned would be yours”
“Wouldn’t that have already been divvied up throughout the ministry?” Hermione asked “You know how greedy they are”
“I do” Luna agreed with a frown.
“They can’t” Ginny said, she was painting her toenails an acid green and seemingly not paying an attention to the conversation “You said that this Marek Kinnocks had an illegitimate but magical child, right?”
“Yes” Hermione said looking at her in shock.
“Even if this Marek guy didn’t know that this child existed the ministry would have been informed” Ginny said with a sigh and moved on to her other foot “They have to be informed when either an old pureblooded family has another child or a particularly rich witch or wizard has a child legitimately or not”
“But why?” Luna asked, she was pureblooded but she never paid much attention to all those rules before and she was surprised that Ginny did.
“When talking about why they need to know when the pureblooded families are welcoming another family member it’s just population control” Ginny explained “But why they need to know when a rich magical person has a child is because for the very reason of what happened to this man. When he died they probably looked for the heir but couldn’t find him and so they put it all in to a vault in Gringotts and the lots would be charmed away from muggles and just left to rot”
“How do you know all of this?” Hermione asked.
“I’m pureblooded” She said without making eye contact with them.
“So am I and I don’t know any of this” Luna pointed out.
“I...paid attention” Ginny said, still avoiding eye contact.
“Was it Voldemort who told you this?” Hermione asked “When you spent time talking to one another through the diary?”
“Okay, it was” She snapped “Look I don’t care what you do with the information I was merely telling you what I knew”
“Thank you, Ginny” Hermione said quickly and gave a short shake of her head towards Luna who opened her mouth to say something more. There was a sharp crack that made them all jump and Cray came in to the living room twisting his ears nervously.
“Miss Hermione” He said “You need to come back, Master Severus needs you”
“What’s happened?!” She asked, jumping to her feet.
“It’s Ms. Amelia” He answered “She breaths but will not wake, Master Severus has tried everything and still she does not wake, please come back”
“Take me to the manor, Cray” Hermione said taking his hand and with a crack they were gone.
“What’s happening?” Ginny asked Luna “Is she dead?”
“No” Luna said “But she will be soon, I could tell when I was there. She pretends to be stronger than she actually is, the curse has taken its toll on her frail body and mind and I think she is likely in a coma...one that she will not awaken from, I fear”
